Sega today announced the release of Sakura Taisen and Sakura Taisen 2 for PlayStation Portable. While the two first installments of Ouji Hiroi's popular series have been confirmed to be available in Japan in 2006, it remains to be seen, whether both games will be ports or remakes featuring additional features.

Originally released for the Saturn in 1996, Sakura Taisen has made appearances on Sega Dreamcast, the PC platform and PlayStation 2. Following its 1998 debut on the Saturn, Sakura Taisen 2 has been re-released for the Dreamcast and the PC platform.
